Our Presenter for this week is Matt Cox. Let us read what Matt will be playing.

If you’re a regular brunch With The Brits listener, when the host can put up a show then you know we’re slowly working our way through John Galls worthy’s The Forsyte Chronicles. This is a mammoth saga of a family love cruelty and the bonds of family togetherness starting in Victorian England and working through multiple generations. this week on Cruising if your a Galsworthy fan we’ll be looking at Justice one of his early plays. Justice is the story of the British justice system and how while its goal is to reform more often it hardens people as they lose hope. It has a wonderful cast featuring Nigel Bruce as a kindly law clerk. As you listen to Justice ask yourself does this also happen today in our own criminal system? Also be sure and listen to the end of the show for a very special announcement from the host about his life and his future. Enjoy.
